Bush's pollution bill gasps, dies in Senate
[Big Oil Bush]'s so-called Clear Skies legislation effectively died when members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee split 9-9 as they voted on the measure that critics say would have significantly weakened existing air pollution controls.
Kudos to republican Senator Lincoln Chafee and Independent James Jeffords, 'who argued that "Clear Skies" was essentially granting big utility companies "ten extra years to pollute."'
